Who pays for the dog walking service?
The dog walking service is typically paid for by the business rather than the staff members. We understand that providing a dog walking service for your employees can be a great way to improve morale and productivity in the workplace, but we also know that it can be challenging to coordinate and manage the logistics of the service. That's why we offer a customizable plan that can be tailored to your business's specific needs and budget. We can work with you to create a payment plan that fits within your budget and helps you achieve your goals. If you have any questions or concerns about payment, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help!
What should employees do to prepare for their dog's walk?
We recommend that employees leave a leash, collar, and any other necessary items for their dog with the designated contact person at the workplace. We'll handle the rest!
Do you walk dogs during inclement weather?
We walk dogs in every type of weather, including rain, snow and summer heat. However, your dog’s safety is our # 1 priority so we may alter walk lengths to ensure the comfort and health of your dog in the event of extreme cold or heat.
What is "training reinforcement"?
It's a clever way of saying we aren't certified trainers. However, if you are working with a trainer, we will join a session, or speak with them, in order to emulate the important training regiment for your dog. If you do not have a trainer, we are happy to hear from you about what we should do!
R+ Training Methods
At Rain City Dogs, we are committed to using positive reinforcement (R+) training methods. We believe in the power of positive reinforcement to create a strong bond between you and your furry friend. With R+ training, we focus on rewarding good behavior, rather than punishing unwanted behavior. This method creates a safe and positive learning environment that helps dogs develop good habits and confidence. We are proud to use R+ training methods and look forward to helping your dog become a happy, healthy, and well-behaved companion.
Corporate Dog Walking Services
Keeping your employees’ dogs happy and healthy.
We understand that busy professionals may not always have the time to take their furry friends for a walk. That’s why we offer a convenient corporate dog walking service that allows your employees to focus on work while we take care of their dogs’ exercise needs. Our private dog walks are available around your business office location, ensuring that your employees’ dogs stay close to their work and within a safe, familiar environment.
Did You Know?
According to the Vancouver Humane Society, an estimated 40% of households in Vancouver, Canada, have at least one dog. This statistic is based on a survey conducted in 2017 by the Canadian Animal Health Institute, which found that the national average of dog ownership was 38%. (jumped way up since COVID19!)
Additionally, a study conducted by the City of Vancouver in 2019 found that there were approximately 28,000 licensed dogs in the city, with an estimated 10,000 unlicensed dogs. The same study found that the most popular dog breeds in Vancouver were Labrador Retrievers, French Bulldogs, and Golden Retrievers.
